does MK have any real weaknesses? or is he just the most overpowered character ever?

Ridiculous Priority + Zero Lag + Fast Running Speed = ????

He is not "overpowered" in the sense that his attacks do a lot of damage, but he can spam certain high priority moves with virtually no fear of being punished. The following moves are pretty much non-punishable:

Tornado
Side-B (angle into the ground)
Up-B -> Glide Attack
Down Smash

...and more probably.

Possible counters to Meta Knight:

Donkey Kong (probably the best choice)
Bowser
Snake (I think this is more even than Snake advantage)

But of course DK and Bowser both have a HARD counter in King Dedede.

i find playing against MK really really frustrating, cause he seems to have no ****ing weaknesses. Amazingly over power up B, stupidly prioritizing B moves. ridiculous running speed and grab speed. absolutely no lag time on any moves. ridiculous recovery. so small so u can do SH fairs on him. impressive range(especially down tilt). amazing combo potential. annoyingly hard for him to be comboed...ummm i'm sure i will think of others

anyone can just spam tornado, and the opponent will always find it tough. He also seems to have only 1 weak match up (snake- check character match up thread).

the only weakness i can find about MK is his weight, but i mean, u can never get a hit in anyway, so its not that much of a fault. NINTENDO are complete *******s for making him this gd and i really hate playing against him

unluckily, most of my friends online main him lol (and they are decent MK's as well, no noobs)

if anyone can give a reasonable weakness (weight isn't one of them), plz let me know.

defend ur "precious" MK !!!!
